CoinGecko Chief Operating Officer and co-founder Bobby Ong commented on the analysis saying it is not surprising that California, as one of the tech hubs, is the most interested in cryptos. He also mentioned that it's especially notable that Colorado, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Florida are interested in Ether more than in BTC. Ong added it remains to see how ratings will perform in the next months after Ethereum’s major update.
CoinGecko mentions that cryptos with a better price compared to a year ago include Leo token with an increase of 86% and SHIBA INU with an increase of 85%.
Bitcoin has the highest value. Currently, the coin trades at around $19,900, down by 57% from the last year. It has a market cap of over $380 billion. Ether trades at around $1,500.
